Potty training help?
posted 7th Feb
My DD just turned 3. She was showing interest and using the potty a few times a day around 2.5. I'm not sure what happened but she began to resist the potty. She will throw full tantrums if the words "potty or panties" are brought up. We've tried her naked (which she is refusing to do now), candy, a sticker board, books, treat box for when she would go. Nothing is working. I need new some ideas of how to present potty training to her. I feel like we've tried everything at this point. I would like her to start taking dance/gymnastic classes soon, which require her to be potty trained. Thank in advance.

I never had to reward my son for going potty.. He was just ready, but we spent about six months "preparing" him. We kept the potty in the living room so he could familiarize, we'd explain what we were doing every time we went potty, and we read potty books. The only challenge I had was getting him to stay put on the potty long enough to finish, but a lightening mcqueen seat and the iPad fixed that
I'd say take a good break, especially if she throws a tantrums.. You need to reset

She doesnt sounds ready. Potty Training is truly one of those things thats full on their own schedule. Just give it time she wont be in diapers forever.

Wow sorry you are having trouble but potty training can be very frustrating! I have 3 boys and I'm prego with a girl. My boys were pee potty trained around 2 1/2 but it wasn't until they were 5 until they stopped doing the #2 in their pants. (talk about stressful times lol) All I can say is try not to get dicouraged, when they're ready, they're ready... I hope it happens sooner than later for you Good luck!
